The EA 1.4 is self populated by EAp2. Our client is a university and the equipment they intend to supply for their break room and offices is not in our scope of work- they will purchase at a later date and our GC will not purchase equipment. We have advised that they should purchase Energy Star- but do not know what they intend to buy. How do we proceed with these credits when we know there will be refrigerators dishwashers and microwaves at a minimum?

If the equipment in question is not in your scope but is in the project scope, (FF&E) it should be included. If you don't know what equipment will be purchased, I would include it as non-ESTAR rated equipment in the calculations. You could provide supplemental information via an uploaded spreadsheet that accounts for what is and is not included in EAp2, however, it seems as though it should all be included there as well. If the future equipment is truly not a part of the project scope, then you don't need to consider it.
